only few minor test failures, most of them are gnulib related and were 
discussed elsewhere (e.g. coreutils).

On NetBSD 7.0.1, gnulib's "test-localename" fails to link (undefined ref to 
'uselocale').
On AIX-7, gnulib's "test-localename" fails (exit code 132).
With musl-libc on Ubuntu 14.04, gnulib's "test-localename" and "test-mbrtowc5" 
fail.


One strange thing is that with clang-3.9 and clang-4.0 (from Ubuntu's 
backports):
the build fails with "undefined reference to '__muloti4'".

Perhaps it's a problem with my system - I haven't investigated further yet.
A brief search shows mentions of this as an llvm bug:
 https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16404

Otherwise, no test failures (when building from tarball) on:

x86-64:
Ubuntu 14.04, with gcc-7.0, gcc-6.2.0, gcc-5.4.0, gcc-4.9
Ubuntu 16.04
CentOS 7.0, 6.5
Debian 8.1, 7.6
Fedora 25, 24, 23
FreeBSD 11-p1, 10.3
OpenBSD 6.0, 5.9, 5.8
NetBSD 6.1.4
openSUSE 13.1

And others:
Oracle SunOS 5.11/5.10 (i86/sun4)
Ubunut 15.04 (i686)
Fedora 20 (ppc64)
Fedora 21 (ppc64le)
Ubuntu 14.04 (aarch64)
AIX (power7)
Darwin 15.6.0, 
GNU 0.7 (i686-AT386)


I'll test manually few more cases (e.g. from git) tomorrow.
